A day after a trio of NFL teams filled head-coaching vacancies, three more teams reportedly did the same Wednesday, highlighted by the Browns giving quarterback Baker Mayfield a familiar face with whom to work.
The Browns are reportedly promoting offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens to head coach, with an official announcement expected soon. Kitchens, 44, replaces Hue Jackson, who was fired in October after compiling a 3-36-1 record.
After parting ways with Jackson, the Browns promoted Kitchens from running backs coach to offensive coordinator and named defensive coordinator Gregg Williams as interim head coach. Williams has been relieved of his duties and is no longer with the team.
